Chongqing Medicine 2017;46(7):919-922
Objective To investigate the expressions of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R) and cytokeratin17 (CK17) in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and clinicopathological significance.Methods The immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting method were employed to detect the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 in normal thyroid tissues (control group,50 cases) and papillary thyroid cancer tissue (observation group,80 cases).Then the correlation between the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 with pathological factors of thyroid cancer was analyzed.Results Low expression of GLP-1R was found in 22 cases (44.00 %) of the control group,while GLP-1R was expressed in 77 cases(96.25 %) of the observation group,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).The expression of CK17 was positive in 8 cases(16.00%) of the control group,while 77 cases(96.25 %) in the observation group were CK17 expression positive,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).The difference between GLP-1 positive expression and clinicopathologic factors had no statistical significance(P>0.05).The difference between CK17 expression with sex and age had no statistical significance (P>0.05),and was obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of thyroid neoplasms(P<0.05).Conclusion GLP-1R and CK17 all are highly expressed in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and CK17 expression is obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer.

Objective To examine among preschool children the validity, reliability and sensitivity of a new assessment tool of Mandarin sentence recognition in babble noise, consisting of twenty-seven equivalent lists, as well as to investigate the effect of age and gender on children's speech recognition. Methods Fifty-four normalhearing children aged 4 to 6 years were recruited from Beijing and were divided into three age groups (4~, 4.5~,and 5.0~6.0 years) containing 18 children each, half boys and half girls. According to randomized split-plot design, we examined their speech recognition ability with 27 sentence-in-babble-noise lists in a sound-treated booth in a kindergarten (ambient noise <40 dB). The sentences were presented at fixed intensity of 65 dB SPL, paired with competing babble noise at three different signal to noise ratios (SNR= +1, -2, -5 dB) by the same loudspeaker with 0° azimuth. Speech recognition score were calculated based on the children's repetition of keySNR functions exhibited that the threshold was -1.96±0. 19 dB SNR and the slope was 15.8%±1.1%/dB for of variance and Post- Hoc Scheffe test indicated that significant differences in performance were most pronounced between the 4~ year group and the other two groups (P<0.001), while there was no significant difference between 4.5~ year group and 5.0~6. 0 year group (P=0. 90). The girls' performance was also significantly better than boys' (P<0. 001). Conclusion The 27 lists of Mandarin speech recognition in babble noise were equivalent among children, and the sensitivity of performance versus SNR was 15.8%/dB. Both of them were below the adult averchildren aged 4.5~ up years. Even though the performance differed between boys and girls, the difference was relatively small compared to 24.6%, the critical difference as the reliability indicator.

Objective To screen 18 endophytes from Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord for molluscicidal effect and identify them by morphology. Methods Molluscicidal tests were performed according to the immersion test suggested by WHO and the strain screened was identified by the slide culture. Results The mortality rates of snails immersed by JJ18 broth salified (pH=7) were 26.7%, 76.7% and 100.0% for 24,48 h and 72 h, respectively, and 53.3% and 86.7% in 5% and 10% concentrations of JJ18 broth, respectively. The active components were extracellular moiety of the broth which had no acute toxicity to fish, and JJ18 strain belonged to Aspergillus. Conclusion Extracellular moiety of endophyte JJ18 from Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord is a new resource of molluscicide.

The aim of this study is to prepare hyaluronic acid (HA) modified core-shell liponanoparticles (pHA-LCS-NPs) as gene delivery system and investigate its gene transfection efficiency in human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells in vitro. The pHA-LCS-NPs was prepared by firstly hydrating dry lipid film with CS-NPs suspension to get LCS-NPs, then modifying the lipid bilayer with HA by amidation reaction between HA and dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE). Its morphology, particle size and zeta potential were investigated. XTT assay was used to evaluate the cell safety of different vectors in vitro. The gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs modified with different contents of HA was investigated in ARPE-19 cells with green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) as the reporter gene. The results showed that the obtained pHA-LCS-NPs exhibited a clear core-shell structure with the average particles size of (214.9 +/- 7.2) nm and zeta potential of (-35 +/- 3.7) mV. The 24 h cumulative release of gene from pHA-LCS-NPs was less than 30%. After 48 h incubation, gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs/pEGFP was 1.81 times and 3.75 times higher than that of CS-NPs/pEGFP and naked pEGFP, respectively. Also no obvious cytotoxicity was observed on pHA-LCS-NPs. It suggested that the pHA-LCS-NPs might be promising non-viral gene delivery systems with high efficiency and low cytotoxicity.
